A continent-spanning pop collective and mutual admiration society, the No Ones is a collaborative project featuring two American musicians of note -- former R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck and Young Fresh Fellows and Minus 5 leader Scott McCaughey -- and two members of the celebrated Norwegian indie pop band I Was a King, Arne Kjelsrud Mathisen and Frode Strømstad. Specializing in scrappy and energetic indie rock with plenty of hooks and an offbeat sense of humor, the No Ones made their debut in 2017 with the four-song EP Sun Station, but expanded their ambitions with their first full-length album, 2020's The Great Lost No Ones Album. 2023's My Best Evil Friend found them thinking bigger, with more expansive arrangements and grander storytelling from McCaughey.
